A method for displaying images on a display with red, green, light blue (B1), and deep blue (B2) sub-pixels. The method receives an image signal designed for a standard three-color (RGB) display and converts it to a format suitable for the four-sub-pixel display. The display uses organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) for each sub-pixel, each emitting light within specific wavelength ranges: red (580-700 nm), green (500-580 nm), and two blues (B1 & B2, 400-500 nm) with the B2 wavelength being at least 4nm less than B1. The method defines multiple color spaces using combinations of the R, G, B1, and B2 sub-pixel colors. For each pixel, the method selects the color space that best represents the desired color, transforms the original RGB signal into luminance values for the sub-pixels defining that color space, and then emits light from those sub-pixels to produce the desired color and brightness. This conversion accounts for variations in sub-pixel brightness, maximizing the dynamic range.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein: two color spaces are defined: a first color space defined by the CIE coordinates of the R, G and B1 sub-pixels, and a second color space defined by the CIE coordinates of the R, G and B2 sub-pixels.
The image display method, where the display utilizes red, green, light blue (B1), and deep blue (B2) sub-pixels, uses specifically two color spaces: one defined by the red, green, and light blue (B1) sub-pixels, and another defined by the red, green, and deep blue (B2) sub-pixels. The image signal designed for a standard three-color (RGB) display is then converted to a format suitable for the four-sub-pixel display.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein: the first color space is chosen for pixels having a desired chromaticity located within the first color space; and the second color space is chosen for pixels having a desired chromaticity located within a subset of the second color space defined by the R, B1 and B2 sub-pixels.
The image display method using red, green, light blue (B1), and deep blue (B2) sub-pixels where two color spaces are defined (red/green/B1 and red/green/B2), the red/green/B1 color space is used for pixels whose desired colors fall within that color space. The red/green/B2 color space is used for pixels whose desired colors fall within a subset of the red/green/B2 color space that is also defined by the red, B1, and B2 sub-pixels. This allows for more precise color rendering.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the color spaces are calibrated by using a calibration chromaticity and luminance having a CIE coordinate (x C , Y C ) located in the color space defined by the R, G and B1 sub-pixels by: defining maximum luminances (Y′ R , Y′ G and Y′ B1 ) for the color space defined by the R, G and B1 sub-pixels, such that emitting luminances Y′ R , Y′ G and Y′ B 1 from the R, G and B1 sub-pixels, respectively, renders the calibration chromaticity and luminance; defining maximum luminances (Y″ R , Y″ G and Y B2 ) for the color space defined by the R, G and B2 sub-pixels, such that emitting luminances Y″ R , Y″ G and Y″ 52 from the R, G and B2 sub-pixels, respectively, renders the calibration chromaticity and luminance; defining maximum luminances (Y R , Y G , Y B1 and Y B2 ) for the display, such that Y R =max (Y R ′, Y R ″), Y′ G =max (Y G ′, Y G ″), Y B1 =Y′ B1 , and Y B2 =Y′ R2 .
The image display method using red, green, light blue (B1), and deep blue (B2) sub-pixels where two color spaces are defined (red/green/B1 and red/green/B2) calibrates the color spaces to ensure accurate color reproduction. Calibration is achieved by selecting a target color, and measuring what it takes to produce the color. Maximum luminance values are defined by how bright they are when creating the color, so the brightest values are used for the display.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein: the linear transformation for the first color space is a sealing that transforms R I into R C , G I into G C , and B I into B1 C ; and the linear transformation for the second color space is a scaling that transforms R I into R C , G I into G C , and B I into B2 C .
The image display method, using red, green, light blue (B1), and deep blue (B2) sub-pixels, calibrates color spaces using linear transformations. For the first color space (R, G, B1), the linear transformation scales the red input (R I) to red output (R C), green input (G I) to green output (G C), and blue input (B I) to light blue output (B1 C). Similarly, for the second color space (R, G, B2), the linear transformation scales the red input (R I) to red output (R C), green input (G I) to green output (G C), and blue input (B I) to deep blue output (B2 C). Essentially, the color inputs are scaled for each colorspace to produce desired outputs.
6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the CIE coordinates of the B1 sub-pixel are located outside the second color space.
The image display method using red, green, light blue (B1), and deep blue (B2) sub-pixels where two color spaces are defined (red/green/B1 and red/green/B2), the CIE coordinates of the light blue (B1) sub-pixel fall outside the color space defined by the red, green, and deep blue (B2) sub-pixels. This placement can allow for increased color separation.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein: two color spaces are defined: a first color space defined by the CIE coordinates of the R, G and B1 sub-pixels, and a second color space defined by the CIE coordinates of the R, B1 and B2 sub pixels.
The image display method, for a display with red, green, light blue (B1), and deep blue (B2) sub-pixels, defines two color spaces: one using the red, green, and B1 sub-pixels, and the other using the red, B1, and B2 sub-pixels. Image signal conversion is used to reformat for use with the four-sub-pixel architecture.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein: the first color space is chosen for pixels having a desired Chromaticity located within the first color space; and the second color space is chosen for pixels having a desired chromaticity located within the second color space.
The image display method using red, green, light blue (B1), and deep blue (B2) sub-pixels where two color spaces are defined (red/green/B1 and red/B1/B2), the red/green/B1 color space is chosen for pixels with colors within that space. The red/B1/B2 color space is chosen for pixels with colors that fit inside that second color space.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the CIE coordinates of the B1 sub-pixel are located outside the second color space.
The image display method using red, green, light blue (B1), and deep blue (B2) sub-pixels where two color spaces are defined (red/green/B1 and red/B1/B2), the CIE coordinates of the light blue (B1) sub-pixel are outside the color space defined by the red, B1, and B2 sub-pixels.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein: the CIE coordinates of the B1 sub-pixel are located inside a color space defined by the CIE coordinates of the R, G and B2 sub-pixels; three color spaces are defined: a first color space defined by the CIE coordinates of the R, G and B1 sub-pixels; a second color space defined by the CIE coordinates of the B2 and B1 sub-pixels; and a third color space defined by the CIE coordinates of the B2, R and B1 sub-pixels.
In an image display method with red, green, light blue (B1), and deep blue (B2) sub-pixels, the CIE coordinates of the B1 sub-pixel are located *inside* a color space defined by the red, green, and B2 sub-pixels. Three color spaces are defined: red/green/B1, B2/B1, and B2/red/B1. Image signal conversion is used to reformat for use with the four-sub-pixel architecture.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein: the first color space is chosen for pixels having a desired chromaticity located within the first color space; and the second color space is chosen for pixels having a desired chromaticity located within the second color space; and the third color space is chosen for pixels having a desired chromaticity located within the third color space.
In an image display method with red, green, light blue (B1), and deep blue (B2) sub-pixels, the three colorspaces defined are: red/green/B1, B2/B1, and B2/red/B1. The red/green/B1 is chosen when the desired color fits, and the B2/B1 and B2/red/B1 colorspaces are likewise chosen for pixels with colors that fit inside those colorspaces.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CIE coordinates are 1931 CIE coordinates.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CIE coordinate of the B1 sub-pixel is located inside the triangle defined by the R, G and B2 CIE coordinates.
The image display method with red, green, light blue (B1), and deep blue (B2) sub-pixels positions the CIE coordinate of the light blue (B1) sub-pixel *inside* the triangle formed by the CIE coordinates of the red, green, and deep blue (B2) sub-pixels.
